Former fast bowler Umar Gul cried uncontrollably while talking about bitter memories during an interview.

Talking to host Fakhar e Alam on ‘A Sport HD”, former fast bowler Umar Gul could not control his emotions while talking about the death of a close friend.

The former speedster said, “I became friends with Kaleem in 2004, he was very close to me. When he saw me, he understood what is in my heart. Kaleem died in a traffic accident two days before Eid in the first year of Corona outbreak in Pakistan.”

“I used to come to Karachi only for him, he was not in Karachi so I decided to take retirement. I have not even mentioned this to my wife till today.”

Umar Gul said, “It has been a month since I came to Karachi for the operation. During this time I did not ask any friend to go out. I still miss my friend a lot. After this accident my life changed, everything has gone from my heart, I don’t want to come to Karachi anymore because I have many memories here.”

In October 2020, Umar Gul took retirement from all forms of cricket after a 20 year long career.
